After returning to bed, Chen Wang and the other man couldn't fall asleep.
It’s not that I didn’t agree to save people, or that I felt guilty or anything, I was just simply a little upset about this matter.
I finally forced myself to fall asleep, but it felt like I hadn't slept for long before I was woken up by the crowing of a rooster.
I couldn't sleep peacefully anymore, so I just got dressed and got up with my wife.
I drank too much last night and didn't sleep well, which caused my head to ache.
I felt better after eating a bowl of porridge cooked by my wife.
"Wife, go back to sleep for a while. I'm going to go out for a walk and get some information."
Chen Wang looked at Lin Xiuqin who was still sipping porridge and spoke softly.
Lin Xiuqin put down her bowl and chopsticks and made a gesture, indicating that she wanted to follow him.
"Forget it. It's still quite cold outside in the morning. Just rest at home. I'll come back and tell you when I get the news."
Chen Wang advised.
Lin Xiuqin shook her head.
"Okay, okay, let's go!"
Chen Wang was stubborn and had to agree.
The two of them went out together. A cold wind blew towards them and they immediately felt the chill.
Chen Wang stretched out his right hand and held his daughter-in-law's left hand.
Lin Xiuqin looked down at her hands, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.
The two of them headed towards the village chief's house.
Whenever they met villagers on the road, they would smile and joke with the two people walking hand in hand.
"Hey, Awang, you're taking your wife out for a walk so early!"
"No, if you have something to ask, go find the village chief."
"Oh, Awang, you and your wife are so sweet!"
"It's cold, this will keep you warm."
"Sister Xiuqin, you are so enviable!"
…
Faced with the villagers' well-intentioned teasing and jokes, Chen Wang remained calm and handled it with ease.
Lin Xiuqin couldn't bear it anymore. Her face became redder and redder. She tried to break free several times, but was held tightly by Chen Wang.
Before I reached the village chief's house, I heard people not far away talking about what happened last night.
When Chen Wang heard that the village chief had asked his master to go to the mountains to search for rescue, he changed direction and went straight to Chen Dazhuang's house.
When I arrived, I found the door was closed.
Chen Wang walked over, knocked on the door, and shouted twice, but no one responded.
The two looked at each other in surprise, and instantly understood each other's meaning.
It seems that Chen Dazhuang may have gone to the mountains with his master last night and has not returned yet.
Now, Chen Wang began to worry.
He didn't care whether Chen Feng and that Ah Shun were dead or alive, but the same could not be said for his master and Chen Dazhuang.
"Wife, let's go back. I have to take Jixiang into the mountains."
Chen Wang said with a serious expression.
Lin Xiuqin did not stop him this time and nodded.
The two hurried back home. Chen Wang took the medicine basket and shotgun and woke up Jixiang who was sleeping in the little girl's room.
At the same time, Lin Xiuqin prepared some food for him to take into the mountains and filled him with a bottle of boiled water.
After handing the things to him, Lin Xiuqin gestured to him to be careful.
Chen Dazhuang had been with her on the previous few trips into the mountains, so Lin Xiuqin was not too worried.
This time it's different.
First, it was very likely that Chen Feng and the other person had died and had not returned, and the search team that went into the mountains had not returned yet.
"Don't worry, Jixiang is with me, nothing will happen."
Chen Wang smiled and said comfortingly.
I don’t know if the little monkey understood or not, but it sat on his shoulder and squeaked.
Lin Xiuqin raised her hand and touched Jixiang's head, then nodded to Chen Wang, signaling him to leave quickly.
"Then I'm leaving. Come here and give me a kiss!"
Chen Wang came forward with a smile and kissed her on the forehead, but was pushed away by his wife in embarrassment.
"Hahaha...let's go, let's go."
After laughing triumphantly twice, Chen Wang strode straight towards the mountains north of the village.
After walking for about an hour, when Chen Wang entered the mountain, the sun had already risen high.
"Jixiang, do you know which way they went?"
Chen Wang asked tentatively.
Jixiang tilted his head and chirped.
"Okay, I was thinking too much."
Chen Wang smiled bitterly.
Well, Jixiang didn’t even know what was going on, so how could he possibly understand?
At this moment, Jixiang suddenly looked ahead and pointed at a fork in the road ahead and started squeaking.
It wasn't the sound of someone spotting prey.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Chen Wang felt something in his heart and looked towards the fork in the road.
Soon, a group of people appeared in his sight.
Chen Dazhuang was walking in front, and behind him was a man carrying a young man covered in blood. It was Ah Shun, who seemed to have fainted.
Chen Feng's injuries were not serious, but he looked a little dazed and dull, and was supported by his uncle.
Master Chen Jianjun was walking at the back, leading a hunting dog and holding a gun.
There were also two familiar faces, the master’s neighbors, the brothers Chen Weibing and Chen Weimin, who helped him carry meat twice.
"Brother Da Zhuang, Master!"
Chen Wang shouted with a smile.
"Awang, why are you here?"
Chen Dazhuang was the first to see Chen Wang and asked with a look of surprise.
"I heard that you guys came into the mountains to rescue people, so I came to see if anyone needs help."
Chen Wang walked over quickly with a smile on his face.
When Chen Feng saw Chen Wang, he thought of the bold words he said before entering the mountain yesterday, and then of his embarrassed appearance now. He lowered his head, blushed, and turned away.
